A novel modified nutritional index model (mcns) demonstrated high predictive value for long-term survival among elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer. Analyzing data from 555 patients, the study identified tumor size, pn, and the modified nutritional score (mconut) as independent prognostic factors, improving patient risk stratification. Notably, patients in the low-risk group benefiting from adjuvant chemotherapy exhibited significantly enhanced overall survival and recurrence-free survival, while the high-risk group showed no similar benefits.
